In cell biology, fluorescent dyes are routinely used for biochemical measurements. The traditional global dye treatment method suffers from low signal-to-noise ratios (SNR), especially when used for detecting a low concentration of ions, and increasi...
High-angle annular dark-field (HAADF) scanning transmission electron microscopy (STEM) can be acquired together with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy to give complementary information on the nanoparticles being imaged. Recent deep learning ...
Organized assemblies of cells have demonstrated promise as bioinspired actuators and devices; still, the fabrication of such "biorobots" has predominantly relied on passive assembly methods that reduce design capabilities. To address this, we have de...
Neuromorphic visual systems emulating biological retina functionalities have enormous potential for in-sensor computing, with prospects of making artificial intelligence ubiquitous. Conventionally, visual information is captured by an image sensor, s...
The state of neck motion reflects cervical health. To detect the motion state of the human neck is of important significance to healthcare intelligence. A practical neck motion detector should be wearable, flexible, power efficient, and low cost. Her...
Multimodal electronic skin devices capable of detecting multimodal signals provide the possibility for health monitoring. Sensing and memory for temperature and deformation by human skin are of great significance for the perception and monitoring of ...
Biomimetic artificial vision is receiving significant attention nowadays, particularly for the development of neuromorphic electronic devices, artificial intelligence, and microrobotics. Nevertheless, color recognition, the most critical vision funct...
Reproducibility of the experimental results and object of study itself is one of the basic principles in science. But what if the object characterized by technologically important properties is natural and cannot be artificially reproduced one-to-one...
Soft interfaces with self-sensing capabilities play an essential role in environment awareness and reaction. The growing overlap between materials and sensory systems has created a myriad of challenges for sensor integration, including the design of ...
Soft pressure sensors are critical components of e-skins, which are playing an increasingly significant role in two burgeoning fields: soft robotics and bioelectronics. Capacitive pressure sensors (CPS) are popular given their mechanical flexibility,...
